Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 4414131, member: 7171"] We are all shooting in the dark at this point. I will root like crazy for this group but the view from here is very foggy. The questions are numerous. We have seven players returning, and five of them missed part or all of last season due to injury. We are of course hopeful that they are all fully healthy, but we will know more when we actually see then on the court. We have three newcomers, and two of them are expected to make significant contributions. Four significant contributors from last season have moved on or are out for the season. Forty percent of our current roster did not play a minute for us last season. I am cautiously optimistic, but I also remember that our collective opinion about last year`s team changed about every five minutes or so. There have been seasons where we knew from the jump exactly what we had and had a very good idea how it would all turn out. Think back when Stewie was on the team. This is not one of those seasons. It could end up being spectacular. I certainly hope so, and can`t wait to find out. By the end of Thanksgiving weekend we should have a pretty good idea. Whatever we think we know now will be different then, and we will still be in November. Lou emerging as a real force is certainly a possibility and would be most welcome. But, looking at the roster as a whole, I think that we will be right in the mix at the end provided that two or three players, whoever they are, surprise to the upside. [/QUOTE]
